Ryan Hampton, a standout in the class of 2027, is gearing up for a whirlwind March with four official college visits on his schedule. Kicking things off, he'll be in Raleigh to check out NC State as they face off against the Duke Blue Devils on March 2. This visit promises to be an electrifying experience, as the Wolfpack hosts one of their most anticipated games of the season.
Hampton, a towering 6-foot-6, 190-pound junior, is currently ranked as the No. 5 overall prospect nationwide, the No. 3 player in Florida, and the top small forward in his class according to 247Sports. NC State extended their offer back in June 2025, and now they're set to welcome this elite talent into their fold for an up-close look.
Hampton's on-court prowess was on full display at the Grind Session Dallas this past December. He lit up the scoreboard with 28 points and snagged seven rebounds in his first game of the tournament. His versatile offensive skills-whether it's shooting from mid-range, sinking threes, or capitalizing on fast breaks-make him a prime candidate for any team looking to boost their tempo.
After his Raleigh visit, Hampton is slated to tour Ole Miss, SMU, and Nebraska, all within the first week of March. His impressive list of offers doesn't stop there; programs like LSU, TCU, Auburn, Arizona State, Texas, Tennessee, Maryland, Oklahoma State, Villanova, Memphis, and Kansas are all vying for his commitment.
Hampton's aggressive, attack-first style on the court projects well for any team looking to elevate their game. As he navigates these visits, the basketball world will be watching closely to see where this top-tier talent lands.
